Abstract

The contribution of this article focuses on a critical and reflective stance on curriculum of mandatory levels of education, specifically that of Physical Education, which is presented by the Ministry of Education of Ecuador, the modality of this publication is essay type, and in this the curriculum is defined as an innovative, open and flexible proposal, in which the future bachelor will be able to be autonomous from the practice of physical activity , raised from the profile of the Ecuadorian baccalaureate, based on the need of society, designing three profiles in which future citizens have competence in Justice, Solidarity and Innovation. Having made a thorough review of the curriculum, it allows us to establish a critical position that leads us to reflection, since the philosophical, pedagogical, social, ethnographic, psychological principles of the base document are not framed to the approach of each sublevel. It should also be noted that performance skills are not well constructed, following a logical sequence, and therefore do not always reflect a progressive order in addition to having a contextualization away from the reality of the country.
